Desi (Destiny 12-037) [1]

I could not wait to get this “Black Beauty” on the web for you all to see! Her name is Destiny, she is a spayed 7 year old Golden Retriever/ Mix. You can see she has the look of a Golden and has the hair of a Golden (long , thick and curly) but is black. Has the big brown eyes. She is a large girl, she weighs in at about #88 pounds and really should be about # 70-75, so we are working on that. She reminds me of bear, so we call her “Care Bear”. She for sure is not used to exercise, because she tires easily, but is loving the fetch game, so any movement she gets now will be better than what she was getting. She had a lot of matts that needed to be cut off, so looking better now.She has been in boarding for a few weeks, so I am sure she is glad to be out and about. She was surrendered by her owner to a shelter along with her sister, who they say never got along with each other, but that it was the sister who was causing the problems! She is nothing but a love bug, wants to be by you and go where you go. She has no food aggression to humans (don’t know about dogs), and loves children. She lived with children and cats. She does really well in the car. Sleeps great next to the bed at night and tells you when she needs to go outside to go potty!!Because of her size, she has a lot of strength, so walking on the leash is something she does not do very well at this point, she pulls hard, but with some work she can learn that also. She is being kept in the crate for now while we are gone, until we can test that further. She LOVES to play with toys, this is the first dog in a long time that I have had that actually wants to play and knows how! So stayed tuned for more info on this girl as the days go by.....
